Toyota Land Cruiser GR Sport: Luxury Meets Unstoppable Force

Toyota Land Cruiser GR Sport: Luxury Meets Unstoppable Force - torquegt

Mike Gratton |

The Toyota Land Cruiser isn’t just a 4x4—it’s a legend on wheels, often hailed as the greatest off-roader ever built. Since its debut in 1951, the Land Cruiser has conquered every terrain imaginable, earning a reputation for unmatched reliability and go-anywhere capability.

Over seven decades of heritage, this icon has evolved, yet remains a symbol of strength, durability, and ruggedness.

Now, feast your eyes on the 2023 Land Cruiser GR Sport, a rare gem we recently sourced for a Personal Import customer. With fewer than 3,000 km on the clock, this beauty is essentially brand new.

The GR Sport trim takes the Land Cruiser’s already legendary performance and dials it up, adding a sportier edge and even more off-road prowess.

The GR Sport is equipped with the cutting-edge Electronic Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System (E-KDSS), a marvel of engineering that enhances wheel articulation and delivers improved handling on rough terrain. Whether you’re climbing rocky slopes or cruising the streets, this suspension keeps the ride smooth and composed.

But that’s just the beginning—front and rear locking differentials deliver maximum traction in the toughest conditions, whether you're powering through mud, sand, or loose gravel. With the Adaptive Variable Suspension (AVS) adjusting on the fly to different driving conditions, you’ll experience improved approach and departure angles… This 4x4 laughs in the face of difficult terrain, easily conquering obstacles.

But the GR Sport isn’t just about performance—it’s about making a statement. From the aggressive front grille adorned with the GR badge to the blacked-out accents and exclusive, sporty wheel designs, this model demands attention wherever it goes. The all-terrain tires grip the ground beneath, ensuring you’re always in control, no matter the landscape.

Step inside, and you’re not just driving—you’re indulging. The cabin is a sanctuary of luxury. The GR-branded leather seats are not only supremely comfortable but also a reminder that this isn’t just any Land Cruiser—it’s the GR Sport.

Every detail, from the GR badging on the steering wheel and door sills to the advanced tech at your fingertips, reminds you that you’re in a vehicle designed to thrill. And don’t worry, the Land Cruiser’s formidable off-road capabilities are complemented by a suite of features like multi-terrain select, crawl control, and off-road cameras that give you a bird’s eye view of even the toughest trails.

Yet for all its off-road muscle, the GR Sport pampers you with the luxuries you’d expect from a top-tier SUV—premium infotainment, high-quality audio, and the full spectrum of Toyota's Safety Sense features. It’s a fortress on wheels, built with the same tank-like quality that has made the Land Cruiser a byword for indestructibility.

Under the bonnet, this Land Cruiser GR Sport 3.3-litre two way twin-turbo V6 diesel engine, cranking out 304 hp and 516 lb-ft of torque. This torque monster gets the Land Cruiser from 0 to 60 mph in around 8 seconds—not bad for a vehicle of this size and stature. Whether you're tearing through mountain passes or gliding along the motorway, this engine delivers muscle and refinement in equal measure.

With the Land Cruiser, you’re not just buying an SUV—you’re becoming part of an elite club of owners who value adventure, durability, and timeless style. The Land Cruiser is affectionately known as the "Japanese Range Rover"—but with far more long-term reliability and a more understated sense of prestige. It’s a vehicle respected by off-roaders, commanding admiration from those who truly understand the art of 4x4 mastery.
